Summary
Nisal Palliyaguru is a software engineer with six years of experience building cloud-native, high-traffic systems and scalable backend architectures using Go, TypeScript, React, NestJS and AWS. He has led teams shipping production-grade platforms—from multilingual news sites and volunteer networks to real-time election and sensor dashboards—emphasizing containerized deployments, performance, and robust data pipelines. Currently pursuing an MSc in Data Science & AI at the University of Moratuwa, he blends ML model work (PyTorch, YOLO, ONNX) and edge inference with WebSocket-based streaming for real-time robotic and surveillance applications. A CNCF chapter organizer, Postman Student Leader and former FOSS club president, he brings active community engagement and open-source advocacy to engineering teams. Colleagues rely on him to bridge ML and backend systems, optimizing inference and data flow for constrained edge environments.
